The University of Cambridge is seeking an enthusiastic, experienced

where necessary, modifying, the structure of digital collections in the 
repository, as well as the organisation of various types of research 
outputs stored in the repository. The role holder will participate in 
the ongoing upgrades and integration of the repository within existing 
and future Library and University systems. This will involve 
consideration of workflows that increase efficiency and provide a 
positive experience for the users. The Manager of Institutional 
Repository will stay abreast of developments in discipline-specific and 
generic metadata standards, and technological advancements in digital 
curation and preservation.
